This clause defines the operational scope of permitted data practices for developers integrating Llama API services. It establishes a necessity requirement for data collection, constrains permitted use cases to those authorized by users, and anchors compliance obligations to external legal frameworks.
The updated terms authorize Meta to retain user-submitted content if its systems flag the content for a potential policy violation, in addition to retention tied to legal compliance and contractual rights. This expands the circumstances under which content may be preserved without explicit time limits. Under the revised language, content retention decisions may now be driven by automated policy-violation flagging in addition to legal or contractual necessity. Developers integrating the Llama API should understand that flagged content may be retained indefinitely pending policy review.
